A.6 Drive Derating Data
The drive can be operated at above rated temperature, altitude and default carrier frequency
by derating the drive capacity.
u
Temperature Derating
As the ambient temperature for the drive is increased above the drive specification the drive
should be derated. Additionally parameter L8-35 Installation Method Selection on page 207
should be set according to enclosure type and mounting method as illustrated in Figure A.1.
n
Output Current Derating Due to Ambient Temperature
Set L8-12 and L8-35 according to the installation conditions when the ambient temperature
is above
the drive specification or if drives are side-by-side mounted in a cabinet. The output
current is derated as shown in Figure A.1.
